| Not all animals with the word fish in their names count as fish. |
| Though their names may suggest otherwise, cuttlefish, starfish, and jellyfish aren’t actually fish. Generally-speaking, fishes must have skulls, gills, and fins. Surprisingly, though, not all fishes have proper spines. |

| In three decades, the world's oceans will contain more discarded plastic than fish when measured by weight, researchers say. |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR JUNE 3-9, 2002
WEATHER: The repeatable word for the week is windy. All week long from the west, northwest and the north the wind has been a fairly consistent 12-16 knots with gusts to 20 at times. Daytime highs have been in the low 90?s and nighttime lows in the mid 60?s to low 70?s. No rain all week (of course). (One More Saturday Night)
WATER: The Pacific side of the Cape has been rough with swells to 6 feet and very choppy water. A strong current down the coast kept the water out to the San Jaime Banks cold and green throughout the week. On the west side of the Banks the water warmed up to 74 degrees and became blue. On the Sea of Cortez side the water remained green up to the area of Punta Gorda until Friday. A wide band of warm water has run up the coast from Punta Ballena to San Jose at the Gorda Banks and outside of this band the water has been in the high 60?s, in the band it has been around 72 degrees early in the week warming to 78 by Saturday and turning from green to blue as the week wore on. Much better surface conditions on the Sea of Cortez side until the wind switches to westerly. (Casey Jones)
BAIT: Caballito later in the week, Mackerel early in the week returning to Mackerel on Sunday, no Sardinas reported. Normal $2 each bait. (Sugar Magnolia)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Only a few Marlin were caught early in this week and I think most of the reason was the water color and surface conditions. Once you got out past the San Jaime the water was blue but very rough so not a lot of boats were willing to go there. Once in the area there were Marlin to be found but they were hard to hook up. Those that were caught showed a preference for live bait and as far as the lure choices went you had to pull straight runners and the preferred color was the Bleeding Mackerel. After Friday the bite started to turn on the Sea of Cortez with the return of the warm water and blue color. There was a very defined current break in the area that concentrated the fish, even if they were difficult to get to bite. Sizes of the fish ranged from 120 to 180 pounds. About 10% of the boats fishing this week found Marlin early in the week and by the weekend had gone up to about 30%. (Uncle John?s Band)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Again San Jaime Banks was the supplier of the Tuna caught at thebeginning of this week, at least the majority. There were small football fish (5-15 pounds) to be found at the beginning of the week in an area 16 miles south, but they were not associated with anything and were hard to find each day. San Jaime was consistent with the eastern drop providing most of the fish and they ranged from small footballs to fish in the 60 pound range. Dark lures and dark Marauders worked best this week for the Tuna that were caught. On the weekend we were finding the Yellowfin in the current line with the Striped Marlin on the Sea of Cortez, and again they were not associated with any Porpoise or Dolphin. Again, as with the Marlin, the success ratio was low at the beginning of the week, around 15% of the boats finding Yellowfin, but improved to about 25% by Sunday afternoon with some very nice 60-80 pound fish in the mix. (St. Steven)
DORADO: Slow fishing this week on all species and Dorado were no exception. With their preference being warm, blue water there was not a lot to attract them locally until the weekend. North of Punta Gorda and west of San Jaime produced fish but the local water conditions made it very ?iffy? within 20 miles of the Cape. The fish that were found were fairly nice in size, ranging from 20 to 45 pounds but only about 25% of the boats found any. Striped Marlin lures in bright colors worked well for the fish that were found. (The Golden Road)
WAHOO: Nope, sorry bout that! Got to have that right water temp, color and moon phase. (Mexicali Blues)
INSHORE: Cold green water shut down most of the inshore action until Friday. There were reports of schools of Pargo on the Pacific side but I saw none of the fish. Bonita, Jack Crevalle and Skipjack produced what action there was this week, with an occasional report of a Roosterfish or Dorado, most of this taking place on the Sea of Cortez, and spotty action at that. After Friday, the advance of the warmer blue water helped the bite pickup a bit, but it was still a ?right place, right time? crapshoot. (Friend Of The Devil)
NOTES: I sure hope this changes soon! We are keeping our eye on Tropical Storm ?Boris?, well to the south of us right now, it is expected to pass well to the southwest of our location and not bother us too much!
